Question 1 of 5
The nurse is emptying an ileostomy pouch for a patient. Which assessment finding will the nurse report immediately?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Presence of blood in the stool. Blood in the stool from an ileostomy may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, which can be serious and life-threatening. The nurse should report this immediately for further evaluation and intervention. Continuous output from the stoma is expected in an ileostomy. Malodorous stool and liquid consistency are common findings in ileostomy output and do not typically require immediate action.
